It's still ridiculous that Kuddly King Kenny wasn't taken to task over wearing the Suarez shirt.

Or you do it while you're briefly outside England, in which case we'll happily welcome you back with open arms as one of the "characters" of the game even though you're only managing fucking Swindon.

Interesting piece and interesting comments, too. http://www.four6zero.com/10/2012/racism-can-fuck-off/

Whatever the truth of the matter, it was a genius move to install Bush as the figurehead of the regime, as nobody (or at least not enough people) would think him capable of implementing any kind of clear strategy or deeper agenda.

Typical Danes, too drunk to do their job properly. (Well, since we're doing gruesome stereotyping today...)

And now in Cyrillic, so that he'll understand it?

I wish there was some way of checking whether this had been covered before

Against. I understand why certain crimes (or certain perpetuations of those crimes) are felt to be beyond the pale and worthy of death, but I don't think a civilised society should indulge that - perfectly human and understandable - desire, nor should we apply different standards depending on the emotional impact of a case or how we perceive the perpetrator.

Spoken like a true Easily-Brainwashed Sucker.

Hence you end up with serious and complicated social situations like this happening in the middle of wartime.

The irony of this is outstanding.

Spoken like a true gourmet. It won't be the same as restaurant-bought, but it'll be nice.

Licking the orange fingerprints off his phone every two minutes.

Several places behind Greece.

Doesn't distract from the point, though. Have a read about Vuk Karadzic, for example.

It's certainly got nothing to do with the USSR as you said. We're talking the origins of Orthodoxy vs. Catholicism, long before the Soviet Union existed, hence the geographically most Southern Slavic languages - Bulgarian, Macedonian - also being written in Cyrillic. (The USSR, funnily enough, wasn't too keen on religion.)

Nonsense, it goes back far longer than that and is religion-based more than anything else.

I intend to grow the fuck up at some point, honest.

Yes prease

Not that it can excuse monkey chants and the like, but these things take time and exposure, too. When he was on his year abroad in Belgrade, my fella and his alkie coursemate would occasionally encounter the one black man in Belgrade. That presumably isn't actually true, but it was only ever the same guy they saw - invariably somewhere near the market stalls at Zeleni Venac - so he stuck in the mind. There's no question that Serbia needs to "own" its behaviour, as they say on American reality shows, but as Luke says, it's definitely interesting how "grizzled middle-aged Serbian man" is now the go-to archetype for anyone who needs an evil baddie for their show or movie. Alan Rickman must be fuming.

Oh god, it's you.

Aye. Agree with him or not, Parky's actually fun to talk to, largely on account of not being a complete dullard.
